"For the first time ever, the average temperature during 2023-2025 exceeded the 1.5C (2.7F) limit set out in the Paris Agreement over three years, according to the data. The UK Met Office said separately that its data also showed 2025 as the third-warmest year on record. The long-term increase in global annual average temperature is driven by the human-induced rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, Met Office climate scientist Colin Morice said in a statement."
"Nearly 200 countries pledged to limit the long-term rise in global temperatures to 1.5C (2.7F) at a landmark summit in Paris in 2015, but the planet's continued warming has left that goal in serious doubt. The US, the world's second-biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, announced early last year that it would exit the Paris accord, in one of President Donald Trump's first acts in office. China, the world's top polluter, in September announced a target for cutting emissions outright for the first time, but the goal was widely panned by climate experts as inadequate."
Average global temperature reached 1.47°C above pre-industrial levels in 2025, and the last 11 years are the warmest on record. 2025 was the third-warmest year, 2024 the warmest and 2023 the second-warmest. The three-year average for 2023–2025 exceeded the 1.5°C Paris Agreement limit. The UK Met Office corroborated that 2025 was the third-warmest year. The long-term rise in global annual average temperature is driven by human-induced increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. NASA and NOAA planned to release additional global temperature data. Nearly 200 countries pledged a 1.5°C limit in Paris 2015, but achieving it remains in serious doubt.
